Mine get pinched out (in GH) when there's nowhere else for them to go or unless Winter strikes

I'm taking out the tips of my outdoor bush tomatoes today- can't see the flowers have much time to ripen into fruit now.
Having said that, we'll proably have an Indian summr now!

I usually pinch mine out at five or six trusses. Having said that, as an experiment I'm letting a couple grow and they are heading towards the apex of the greenhouse!

I have just pinched out my outdoor ones as they are mostly cordon type and have reached the top of the pole that I have tied them to.
My indoor ones will grow over the path and I will not be stopping them for quite a while.
